------------------ 1) Make sure that /tmp does NOT contain a file named test.txt 2) Create /tmp/Test if not present 3) Create a symlink /tmp/Test/test.txt -> ../test.txt 4) Notice that the symlink is dangling, i.e., not pointing anywhere 5) Run fslint-gui /tmp/Test 6) Click on "Bad symlinks", make sure that "Dangling" is selected, and click on "Find" 7) Observe the error message "<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: ord() expected a character, but string of length 11 found".
Embarrassingly for me, I made some typos in the how-to-reproduce
description. The (hopefully) typo-free version is below:
